Question

summer magic
by leslie pinckney hill
so many cares to vex the day,
so many fears to haunt the night,
my heart was all but weaned away
from every lure of old delight.
5 then summer came, announced by june,
with beauty, miracle and mirth.
she hung aloft the rounding moon,
she poured her sunshine on the earth,
she drove the sap and broke the bud,
10 she set the crimson rose afire.
she stirred again my sullen blood,
and waked in me a new desire:
before my cottage door she spread
the softest carpet nature weaves,
15 and deftly arched above my head
a canopy of shady leaves.
her nights were dreams of jeweled skies,
her days were bowers rife with song,
and many a scheme did she devise
20 to heal the hurt and soothe the wrong.

Explanation:

Las líneas "She drove the sap and broke the bud, She set the crimson rose afire" describen cómo el verano (representado como "she") activa la circulación de la savia (que es esencial para la vida de las plantas) y hace que los capullos se abran (lo que es un signo de vida nueva) y que la rosa se ponga en flor (que es un proceso de vida y crecimiento). Esto sugiere que el calor del verano trae vida renovada.

Answer:

B. Summer's warmth brings renewed life.
